⚡ Recently, we organised the first Innovation Hack-day, where over 55 of us gathered together to work on several ideas to #ignitecustomervalue! “It was really cool to see 10 teams working together for an entire day, exchanging on their expertise and finally building something together to then pitch in front of everyone. I was impressed with the creativity and potential impact of the ideas, and it definitely built a nice pipeline for the Innovation team to look into.” — Montse Mussons Olivella We’re looking forward to the next edition and to all the impact that will emerge from this day! 🚀 #DemandResponse #EnergyTransition #EnergyFlexibility

This week, we’re attending 2024 Solarplaza Summit! Are you going? ⚡ Greece is undoubtedly a renewable power-house — last year its cumulative solar PV capacity reached 7.1 GW and is it predicted to rise by another 10.9 GW between 2024 and 2027. During this year’s Solarplaza Summit, the discussion will centere around grid issues like curtailment, newly defined interconnection terms, and changing market and regulatory frameworks. Our Commercial Director Konstantinos Athanasopoulos will take part in a panel discussion to: ⚡ Present concrete actions and solutions ⚡ Explain how solar parks can utilise curtailment to open new revenue avenues when participating on balancing markets, aFRR being the perfect example ⚡Outline the opportunities presented by BESS and co-location ⏰ 26.09.2024 (12:00) 📍Divani Palace Acropolis, Athens Greece 👉 Register for the event: https://bit.ly/3zqHxXH #DemandResponse #SolarEnergy #GreeceRenewables #EnergyStorageGreece

Dan Jørgensen appointed as Commissioner-designate for Energy and Housing — here’s what it means for the #EnergyTransition ⚡👇 We welcome President Ursula von der Leyen's appointment of Dan Jørgensen as Commissioner-designate for Energy and Housing. As Denmark's former Minister of Climate and Energy, Jørgensen brings valuable experience and a progressive stance on the Energy Transition. We're excited to see the emphasis on energy flexibility in Dan Jørgensen's mission letter. This approach paves the way for a robust energy market that supports the energy transition and strengthens grid stability. We also welcome the connection made between the Commissioner-designate for Energy and the Clean Industrial Deal as there is much to do to support the decarbonisation of the Industry. We look forward to supporting the new commissioners in delivering on these ambitious goals. 👏 "I'm happy to see flexibility highlighted in Commissioner-designate Dan Jørgensen's mission letter. Flexibility is a cornerstone of the energy transition, enabling us to maximise the roll out of renewable energy and enhance grid stability. We are eager to collaborate with the new Commission to turn this vision into reality for a greener and more resilient Europe." - Mathilde Chareyron, Public & Regulatory Affairs Director, Sympower Read more: https://lnkd.in/dKmvw2MM #DemandResponse #RenewableEnergy

ENTSO-E just published their key priorities for the new EU legislative cycle — here's our take on it 👇 The legislative foundation in the European Union is already solid, and now more than ever, we need immediate actions to ensure full implementation of existing EU regulatory frameworks at the national level. “With the energy transition demanding a more electrified economy, sustainable, affordable, and secure electricity will be crucial for Europe’s competitiveness. We fully support and welcome ENTSO-E’s priorities for the new legislative cycle, which will accelerate and align the additional necessary actions across all sectors for this transformation. We’re looking forwards to seeing words turned into action.” - Reza Baradar, Senior Public & Regulatory Affairs Advisor, Sympower Key points raised by ENTSO-E (touching demand side flexibility): ⚡ Market Design Enhancements: ENTSO-E advocates for removing barriers to maximise the participation of all resources, including renewables and demand-side flexibility in system balancing. They also support the introduction of market mechanisms for system services beyond generation adequacy (e.g., redispatching and non-frequency ancillary services). ⚡ Efficient Price Signals: Ensure price signals incentivise flexibility from all end-consumers at the right time and place. This includes removing barriers to using data from metering devices to unlock the potential of demand-side flexibility. ⚡ System Security from All Resources: ENTSO-E calls for all resources—demand-side flexibility, storage, and renewables—to contribute to the security of the system, including through balancing processes and maintaining system inertia.

🚀 While the EU countries increasingly recognise the need for Demand-Side Flexibility, rules still differ from country to country. As a pan-European player, we strongly advocate for their harmonisation to maximise the positive impact of distributed flexibility across the continent. That way, all European industries will be able to utilise their flexibility, access new revenue streams and contribute to a greener energy future. ⚡ What are favourable rules for DSF? ⚡ How does renewable growth factor in? ⚡ What other aspects drive our expansion strategy? Our Expansion Manager, Federica Tomasini explains it all in our new video 👇 #EnergyTransition #DemandResponse #RenewableEnergy
